Omnidirectional Sensing and Its Applications
نویسنده
چکیده
The goal of this paper is to present a critical survey of existing literature on an omnidirectional sensing. The area of vision application such as autonomous robot navigation, telepresence and virtual reality is expanding by use of a camera with a wide angle of view. In particular, a real-time omnidirectional camera with a single center of projection is suitable for analyzing and monitoring, because we can easily generate any desired image projected on any designated image plane, such as a pure perspective image or a panoramic image, from the omnidirectional input image. In this paper, I review designs and principles of existing omnidirectional cameras, which can acquire an omnidirectional (360 degrees) field of view, and their applications in fields of autonomous robot navigation, telepresence, remote surveillance and virtual reality. key words: omnidirectional camera, multiple sensing camera, panoramic view, omnidirectional view, computer vision

متن کاملTowards Multimodal Omnidirectional Obstacle Detection for Autonomous Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
Limiting factors for increasing autonomy and complexity of truly autonomous systems (without external sensing and control) are onboard sensing and onboard processing power. In this paper, we propose a hardware setup and processing pipeline that allows a fully autonomous UAV to perceive obstacles in (almost) all directions in its surroundings. Different sensor modalities are applied in order tak...

ZnO and ZnO: Mn nanocrystals were synthesized via reverse micelle method. The structural properties of nanocrystals were investigated by XRD. The XRD results indicated that the synthesized nanocrystals had a pure wurtzite (hexagonal phase) structure. Resistive gas sensors were fabricated by providing ohmic contacts on the tablet obtained from compressed nanocrystals powder and the installation ...
